This anime is a sequel to a Unicorn short story about the Phenex that went missing during a combat excercise. The one thing I find kind of annoying is that there is ANOTHER prototype that lead to the development of the Nu Gundam... I thought the Silver Bullet Funnel test type was the one but apparently this Narrative Gundam is both a prototype to the Nu Gundam and Unicorn... but this isn't anything new to Gundam with retcons and new revelations of unseen prototypes... in the current running MOON GUNDAM we see a prototype to the Sazabi too...

Good lord Fukui just has to rub his grubby hands allllll over everythiiiiinnnnggg

I should be optimistic but I have to admit I really hate how they've let Fukui basically take over the franchise at this point. Ugh.

Its not like Fukui is the director nor the writer for the anime versions... Unicorn anime changed a good number of things from the novels... some for the worst, especially the entirety of OVA 4, ending was different too IIRC. Full Frontal's origin was never explained in the anime either while in the novels he was a random Cyber Newtype that was conditioned to act like Char but do the bidding of Republic of Zeon, hence why he was a shallow asshole instead of having a clear goal like Char.

And its only Unicorn related stuff that Fukui is working on (as well as the Moon Gundam manga...). Its not like he had anything to do with that awful Twilight Axis novel or the absurd Thunderbolt stuff. Thunderbolt is all edge and no substance with its mostly awful characters and a ridiculous plot that doesn't make sense compared to the rest of OYW stuff.
